L uftwaffe night fighter colours: Which RLM? Which Humbrol

Post by CementNotGlue »

Hi all
My first L uftwaffe night fighter.
Which RLM does the light grey and dark grey equate to?
Which Humbrol or Revell enamel do they equate to?

Image

Thanks in anticipation.

Light Blue = RLM 76 = Humbrol 247
Light Grey = RLM 75 = Humbrol 246
Dark Grey = RLM 74 = Humbrol 245
Black-green on props = RLM 70 = Humbrol 91 or 241

Its not just how good your painting is, its how good the touch-ups are too.

Thanks fredk for quick reply.
My 'local' train modelling shop stock Revell paints. I presume Humbrol is superior? I have Revell 76 that might do for RLM 75?

I think Revell 76 might just be too light
Revell 74 for RLM 74 Dark Grey
Revell 75 for RLM 75 Light Grey
Revell 55 for RLM 65 Light Blue
